Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/7] i2c: core: add callback to change bus frequency

All devices on the same I2C bus share the same clock line and the bus
frequency has therefor be chosen so that all attached devices are able
to tolarate that clock rate. IOW, the bus speed must be set for the
slowest attached device.

With I2C multiplexers/switches on the other hand, it would be possible
to have different "domains" that runs with different speeds.

Prepare for such a feature by provide an optional callback function to
change bus frequency.
